Lindsay has been incredibly helpful the past 5 months. She’s seen me through past traumas, dealing with adult children, and feeling at the end of my rope. Her EMDR training makes her especially valuable!

Lindsay has helped me to change my life. I have tried so many things to "get better" throughout my life and felt like I was getting no where. With each new EMDR session, I feel so much relief and like I can take back a little control of my spiraling thoughts. I know I have a long road of healing left but I have hope for success for the first time in my life.

Very happy to have found her. She makes me feel comfortable to open up.

Lindsay, although it’s only been two sessions so far has been a welcomed addition to my life and is helping me work through some long seeded family and confrontational trauma. I cannot say how much I appreciate her.
